America is very apt to have been trav.
elcr and. being an American, to have
seen great deal that an ordinary
traveller misses. His knowledge of the
inside of his fellow creatures seems to
assist him in observing facts connected
with their external environment; he is
comparatively free from prejudiees,
and his opinions upon things in gen.
eral are dictated by solid common
sense. His professional training
tends to sharpen his insight into
human nature. and. If his own na.
ture be sociable and humane, he forms
many agreeable acquaintances in all
parts Of the world. In the seclusion
